First of all, a very smart, gross, dark, crude, hilarious and obnoxious film that had me in tears throughout the film. Yes, this subject has been done to death, but not to this level of enjoyment. I haven't enjoyed a Vegas bachelor party film this much since "Very Bad Things" and I would have to rate this higher. How rare it is to see a film that is consistently funny from start to finish. My expectations were very high after all of the hype leading up to the release of this film and it didn't disappoint. The director does a great job setting the stage for a night no one can remember. Each role was cast perfectly with Zach Galifianakis stealing the show. Make sure you don't leave early and miss the slide-show during the credits. Freaking hilarious!!!! Thank you, Todd Phillips for another over-the-top, laugh-out-loud masterpiece! Get it in your collection SOON!!Read full review
No doubt, "The Hangover" is my favorite movie about the Sin City. And I have seen a bunch. If you haven't seen "The Hangover", then get the DVD right now! "The Hangover" is a fun movie. It, how to say, took me away from the normal life and routine, and made me feel like I was in Las Vegas. It really did! It must be because of three fantastic and professional actors - Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. This movie will attract you if you are a Ken Jeong, Mike Tyson, Heather Graham, or just a Vegas fan. When you watch the movie, it like takes you to Vegas. You feel it. You feel the atmosphere. I should add that it inspired me to learn Poker. Before I watched this movie, I had no idea how to play it. Although no one in "The Hangover" didn't play poker (they played Blackjack), I learned poker, because I knew Blackjack. If I still haven't convinced you into buying the DVD or watching it in cinema, then I will tell about it in few words. "Hangover" is basically a movie about four friends going to Vegas to celebrate bachelor party, because one of them, Doug is getting married. They check into villa in Caesar's Palace and the unforgettable (and disastrous) night begins. Dentist, Stu, wakes up and finds out that he's missing a tooth. Later discovers that he got married to a stripper. The three guys find a tiger (that belongs to Mike Tyson) in their bathroom, and a baby in the closet. Why three? Because Doug is missing. Guys find out, that they stole a police car. They also find a naked Chinese man (Ken Jeong) in the trunk of their Mercedes. Who was he? Where is Doug? Why Stu is missing a tooth? What happens next? Find out by yourself!Read full review
The Blu clarity and sound quality are solid and there were no failings even with the volume of night sequences. The desert shots were done adequately so there was no light saturation or blur - overall the presentation in both versions makes them a good investment for being one of the few comedies you might buy on Blu. The unrated runs eight minutes longer and contained nothing that would warrant the usual attraction for being titled as such. By the time they get to the roof to start the night there were four brief sequences added in, including some extra dialogue in the opening house scene, a little more with that abusive girlfriend and a fun spot in the hotel room. The main difference between the two would be a funny one minute scene as they take the tiger back to Tyson's house (elevator addition). Otherwise, there are no R rated additions like some would look for. The supplements are a mixed bag, and after investing the hour it takes to get through them all (except the commentary) none of them stand out as a must see. Standard Special Features (2 Disc DVD and BD) * The missing pictures. 100 added photos from the camera, a few funny ones but they felt like the pics you would screen out before you share with your buddies (10 shots from the same angle, where you get rid of the other 9 and save the best one - they keep the other 9 here). * Map of Destruction. Has 15 spots they filmed on a selectable icon map that takes you to a brief clip regarding making-of info. The Tyson one was the most interesting for me as the others are all either too short or not interesting. * Madness of Ken Jeong. This guy doesn't work for me other than brief shots in a film so his "improv" here wasn't funny. * Action Mash-Up. A brief Stooges style mix, forgettable. * Three Best Friends Song. Funny in a movie, not funny as a long version when they can't sing. * The Dan Band. The clean version of the Fame song. * Gag Reel. Now this was funny, only goes a few minutes but they were having fun. BD Exclusive: (BD Live) * Cursing Mash-Up. My player took a few seconds to download/stream it and it only lasted a few seconds, most customers get a chuckle out of it when I screen it in the store, but just ok as a supplement. * Iron Mike Online Teaser. A decent rendition of him singing the In The Air Tonight. That played well and customers thought it a much better trailer than the standard ones we have seen 100 times. Theatrical BD Version: * PiP Commentary with Phillips and the three main guys. I usually love commentaries but this one stunk. I was expecting a great deal of humor, funny stories and cool info, but instead they were just sitting there looking bored, especially Cooper, I honestly think he was there to watch the film. Galifianakis sat there until minute 16 before he really said anything. Every once in awhile Todd would say something interesting about the film making, but don't watch this if you want the laughs. A fun movie with plenty of laughs on a good Blu that for some of the low prices I have seen here and elsewhere it will feel like a good investment.Read full review
